Define your look with Medusa piercing jewelry from Piercer’s Choice. Also known as a philtrum piercing, the Medusa sits in the groove above the centre of your upper lip, creating a striking, symmetrical accent. Choose a look that makes this distinctive lip piercing your signature detail.
Medusa Jewelry & Fit
Flat-back labret studs are commonly used for Medusa piercings. Ask your professional piercer to confirm the correct gauge, post length, and end size for your anatomy. Your piercer should also assess when to downsize the initial longer post as swelling subsides, rather than waiting until fully healed.
Medusa Piercing Aftercare
Follow your piercer’s oral and external aftercare instructions, and avoid playing with the jewelry. Lip jewelry can cause tooth damage and gum recession, so maintain regular dental check-ups and seek advice if you notice irritation or changes to your teeth or gums. Check each listing for sizing and compatible post details before choosing your next philtrum stud.
